Elimination Final - Richmond vs North Melbourne @ the M.C.G. - Sunday, Sept. 13

[Tazzytiger]

Bring on the Conca.. bit of magic needed.

Some of the boys are a bit down, Edwards, Cotch, Lids, if they can lift its all over. Jack has been brilliant.

True WAT. A good sign on some ways. We're in front and still have plenty of areas to improve in and stars that need to lift.

Miles has been simply awesome in the guts. Rance has contained Petrie.

We've just got to cut out the dumb stuff and silly schoolboy errors. Most of North's goals that quarter were through our own silly mistakes.

Bring on the Conca.. bit of magic needed.

Dimma usually waits until late to give us some extra run and fresh legs in the last quarter.

I feel like throwing up

I feel like throwing up

I spewed up a few times with a brainless missed short passing and mistackles  .

Mind-boggling matching Batchelor against Waite, I would've at least had Grimes on him from the beginning and was perplexed why it took so long to make the change. Should have known history would suggest Waite has always caused us problems.
Unbelievable

Need to cut out these momentum killers, couple of times we have had clear ascendancy only to make schoolboy errors and hand goals on a silver platter. The game we lost to North during the season should be evidence enough as to what turnovers do you to. Also as someone else mentioned we are working too much like sheep dogs in our defensive 50 when they have possession, need to be more like pitbulls and attack the player as quickly as possible to reduce their options.

[mightytiges]

The Kangaroos were better in close in the first half winning 15 more contested possessions and six more clearances, but the Tigers were more efficient recording 18 more effective kicks and a shot-at-goal accuracy 26 per cent better than the Kangaroos.

Anthony Miles recorded eight disposals at 88 per cent efficiency, eight contested possessions, seven clearances including six centre clearances, and one goal.

Jack Riewoldt finished the second quarter with nine disposals at 89 per cent efficiency, four marks, four score involvements and three goals.

The Tigers have gone inside 50 three times from eight kick-ins.

Taylor Garner recorded seven disposals at 86 per cent efficiency in the second quarter as well as five score involvements including two goal assists.

This x 2  .

Cotch and Lambert need to get more involved, if we can get a bit more of the ball through the midfield i feel we can break this game wide open. Of course some more silly errors and the same thing could happen the other way.

[WA Tiger]

Reckon we can come out after half time and split this game open. But we need Dusty to produce some magic and Lids, Edwars and Cotch to get involved. Not sure about Griff at the moment..

[mightytiges]

Two misses handballs and two shocking kicks out of defence  .

Just rush it through you idiots!

Thank you Chaplin.

57 - 45

[WA Tiger]

 

What was Chaplin thinking then

[mightytiges]

Dumb dumb dumb Chappy  . Gift 

57 - 51

So that's 5-6 schoolboy errors in the first few minutes 

[WA Tiger]

Thank god for that goal...
